Christian Soldiers
COMPOSER’S NOTE
Christian Soldiers originally appeared as part of the first movement of The Great War Symphony which I wrote to commemorate the centenary of the First World War 2018. The chordal, prayerful style of the accompaniment makes this piece fit perfectly into acts of remembrance, funerals and any other occasion which calls for peace and reflection.

Onward Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go!
Words: ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’ (excerpt), Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924)
